Racing,Game,Retro

I'm a British writer who loves indies, reviewing games regardless of platform or budget, with a soft spot for anything retro. BAFTA, Gamescom, and Indie Cup judge.

There’s a huge gap in the market for a definitive, modern retro-style racing game like this. Despite its charming, no-frills concept,limps past the chequered flag. It could be a strong, fun, multiplayer-focused racing experience, and it has its moments. Still, it’s hamstrung by nearly-there ideas, odd design decisions, skill-free core driving mechanics, and poor AI.

At the start of the first race of any given series, you kick things off at the back of the grid, and it’s a punishing affair, especially if the track goes into an early corner. Cars mash into one another; crashing, or being crashed into, saps all your momentum, setting you back by huge distances straight out of the blocks. Even when you’re ahead, other drivers don’t account for your presence, bouldering into you after a questionable corner.

It’s especially hilarious in any race with a jump involved. Despite being programmed to understand their trajectory–something you’ll never know with confidence–they comically fly off ramps in different directions.sins. I have done bad things, so wash me to make me land my car on the other side of this ramp.Like you, they’re also victims of rough landings, pinging off the floor like a rugby ball, in the vain hope it’s in the right direction.
